Oh for Pete's sake. Do some research. Arpaio is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing, blow-hard, white supremacist who actually does very little.
Pima county sherriff, Clarence Dupnick runs rings around around that worthless racist asshole.
When it came time to hand out awards for what he actually accomplished, a national law enforcement organization found that Dubnick had deported more than any other law enforcement officer in the US. Arpaio was 13th and the gay skinhead sheriff Babeu of Pinal county didn't even register.
In case you've forgotten, it was Babeu who did that phony walk with McCain along the fence on our southern border.
Don't be so gullible and do some research.
Well, I admit that he may not be too popular amongst some folks what with his tent camp style prison, however he has been Sheriff of Maricopa County since 1992. The people of Maricopa County re-elected him for six consecutive terms. He must be doing something right. For instance his volunteer posse has greatly helped law enforcement in Maricopa County (which includes Phoenix).
He's set up a volunteer posse whose ranks have increased to 3,000 members. Its is indeed the nation's largest volunteer posse. Posse volunteers help in search and rescue work and other police work as well as in special operations like rounding up deadbeat parents, and fighting prostitution. The posseÂ’s contributions are free to taxpayers.
His tough on crime approach also greatly helps his popularity.
Whoosh!
Right over your head.
Sure, he's doing something right.
He makes noise.
His "posse" is a bunch of worthless vigilantes who get cases thrown out of court because they break the law more than the people they're chasing.
No, the "posse" is not "free to taxpayers". Just the opposite. Because they screw up so many cases, the crooks consistently walk on "technicalities".
He turned a bunch of his best "posse" members loose to guard grade schools. Turned out they were criminals themselves. Some were pedophiles. Yeah, armed pedophiles guarding grade schools. What could possible go wrong?
His silly ass "posse" used tax payer money to "investigate" President Obama's birth certificate. The bunch of them flew to Hawaii, laid around drinking out of glasses with umbrellas, Arpaio gets a lot of news coverage out of it, tells us his "posse" is bringing back "proof" and, just like Trump, we haven't heard a word since.
He's not really tough on crime as much as he is tough of people of color. And, women. Hispanic women and young girls get raped a lot on his watch and their cases are not even investigated.
Problem is, too many people still believe the lie that we're over run by illegals from Mexico. Until those people wake up and realize they're being used, this won't change and phony Arpaio will stay in office. Hopefully, he'll die soon but really, it can't be soon enough. I just wish he'd take the rest of the KKK/white supremacists with him.
PS - ShootsSpeeders - you're an idiot and that's a lie.
